Exciting Changes Ahead at Paddle River Golf & Country Club
At Paddle River Golf & Country Club, we are committed to continually improving the experience we provide to our members, guests, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and community partners.

As part of that commitment, we are pleased to announce that we will soon be implementing the TeeOn Golf Management System across our club operations.

This investment represents an important step forward in modernizing how we serve our golfers while strengthening the operational systems that support our club every day.

What This Means for Our Members and Guests Once fully implemented,
TeeOn will provide convenient online access to many of the services our golfers use most, including:

• Online tee time reservations
• Online golf cart bookings
• Membership purchases and renewals
• Online purchases of annual golf products and services
• Improved league registration and management
• Handicap score tracking and updates
• Better communication regarding events, promotions, and club activities

Whether you're booking a quick nine holes, signing up for league play, or renewing your membership,
TeeOn will make the process faster, easier, and more convenient.

Improving the Customer Experience
Our goal is to create a seamless experience from the moment a golfer interacts with PRGCC.

The new system will help eliminate common frustrations such as overbooked tee times, unavailable carts, and communication gaps. Staff will have real-time access to accurate information, allowing them to serve customers more efficiently in both the Pro Shop and River & Nine Restaurant and Lounge.

Members will also gain greater visibility into their own club activity, making it easier to track memberships, bookings, league participation, and handicap information.

Supporting Growth and Tourism
As more golfers rely on online booking systems when choosing where to play, implementing TeeOn will help make PRGCC more visible and accessible to visitors from across Alberta and beyond.

This enhanced online presence will help attract new golfers, increase tourism-related visits, and introduce more people to everything our course and community have to offer.

Strengthening Operations and Governance
While golfers will experience the most visible improvements, TeeOn will also provide significant benefits behind the scenes.

The system integrates key operational and accounting functions, helping us maintain accurate, up-to-date information while improving financial controls and reporting capabilities.

These improvements support stronger governance, better decision-making, and more effective stewardship of club resources.

Investing in Our Staff and Volunteers
Implementing TeeOn will also create clearer processes and training pathways for our staff and volunteers.

By standardizing procedures and providing better access to information, our team will be better equipped to serve members consistently and professionally while continuing to build their skills and confidence.

Focusing on What Matters Most
Perhaps most importantly, improved systems and automation allow our staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors to spend less time managing administrative tasks and more time focusing on the things that matter most:

• Maintaining and improving course conditions
• Enhancing member and guest experiences
• Expanding community events and programming
• Building relationships with sponsors and donors
• Supporting the long-term success of Paddle River Golf & Country Club

We are excited about what this next chapter means for our club and look forward to sharing more details as implementation progresses.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to build a stronger, more accessible, and more enjoyable golf experience for everyone.

So our small course has been known to have cart availability troubles. Let's be honest, it's a big problem for you and your game....but it's a much bigger issue for us if we can't give you what you deserve!

Our loyal members, our community patrons, our visitors, and all our other supporters have been looking after us quite a bit over the years and we sure appreciate it. But there comes a time when we have to get it together, bite the bullet, and make some big changes in order to give back.

Our Board of Directors has determined that lack of cart availability, associated fuel and maintenance costs, and just plainly the presentation we have allowed to be substandard represents the most significant  barrier to the course's prosperous future, and our ability to provide an exceptional customer experience.  We collectively agree that a total upgrade of golf carts should be one of our key strategic initiatives, and therefore we have set out to replace our existing fleet.

We have made a deal with Lakeside Carts in Innisfail, Alberta for the purchase of twenty six E-Z-Go RXV Elite Lithium battery powered golf carts.  While they are not new, they are much much newer than what we have in our cart stable currently.  This is quite the investment, but YOU are worth it!  The course is worth it, and our community deserves to have it!

To fund this replacement, we have entered into a lease agreement for the next five years in an effort to keep operating costs low while getting a premium equipment upgrade.  We get reliability, comfort safety, much less noise, and no smelly fumes.  Lithium battery technology has advanced greatly over the last few years making  charging super fast, and very inexpensive (considerably less cost to operate than gasoline powered carts).

We should be finished signing documents in a day or two and expect to have the carts start arriving within the next few days after that.

The old carts have already found a home thanks to an adventurous individual.


We look forward to this improvement and many others to come in the near future.  We have to give back.  We will make our gem of a course at the entrance to our wonderful town shine brightly in every way we can. And we look forward to your continued patronage.  Thank you!
